Music: What concerts have you been to/are you going to this year?

[mongolman]

Nothing booked yet, typically easier for me to wait until I know for sure I can go.

May 11: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - I'm a sucker for rock covers of pop songs.

May 20/21: U2 - I'd like to watch U2, but the show might be pricier than I'd like plus it's in Pasadena.

June 20: Babymetal / Korn - Probably unlikely at this point, mid-week concert is always a bummer and I dislike the venue.

August 6: Metallica - Probably dependent on the price.

August 11: Jimmy Eat World / Incubus - Same venue as the Korn show, but at least this show is on a Friday. I'm gonna miss Jimmy Eat World in Vegas by a couple nights in April unfortunately.

September 16: Green Day
or
September 15-17: Muse, RHCP, Live, Weezer, Ice Cube, Garbage

September 16th is my birthday, so I thought it'd be fun to splurge and get good seats for Green Day (favorite band growing up) in Pasadena. But there's also a weekend festival in San Diego that weekend which had typically had a lackluster lineup. But this year there's a few acts I'd like to see. They haven't announced the daily breakdown yet, so maybe I could do both.

-----

I was hopeful that the Smashing Pumpkins would get the original lineup together and do a tour focusing on their early albums.

I'm going to the same show in Indy. I've been a fan of Jimmy Eat World since the late 90s, but I had never seen them until a few months ago when they came through Indy. They put on an amazing show. It was so good.

May
Godsmack
Metallica

June
AFI

September
Roger Waters

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Metallica on July 16th

 

[The Night King]

I have my tickets to that and can't wait. It should soumd great at the Forum. His best of Pink Floyd show at Desert Trip was easily the best concert I've been to. And I've been to quite a few.

Also have tix on deck for Dead & Co, U2, Jamey Johnson, and Lady Antebellum.

I saw his performance of The Wall at the LA Coliseum in 2012. Got there a bit late but was still one of my favorite shows ever. I've been to many as well; mostly metal bands.

BTW, is he really playing at The Forum? Ticketmaster shows him doing two shows at Staples Center.

 

[MsMeow]

In the last few months I saw Gord Downie, Gordon Lightfoot once each, Tom Cochrane twice, once at Massey and once in Oshawa, and Kasador a few times.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Going to a chamber music concert next Sunday.

Mozart, Prokofiev, Dvorak.

Should be kickass, as usual.

You're right - it is Staples. I must have spaced.

With things opening back up, has anyone been to any shows or have tickets to anything coming up?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Guns N Roses next month in Detroit

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Somehow my wife signed me up for Poison and Def Leppard

Maybe she’ll forget about it as the tour was postponed till next year

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Guns N Roses next month in Detroit

Thought about seeing them in Columbus but I may be out of town.

I am taking a trip to Europe next year with my niece and nephew and I bought tickets to the Saturday show in London

Good choice!

Pearl Jam always put on a good show and seem to always have a different set list but based on your username you already know that lol

 

[beowulf]

Guns N Roses next month in Detroit

I refuse to ever give money to see them ever again after 1992 riot. Axl is such a douche.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Bought tickets to 2 different shows pre covid and they got updated with new dates that are back to back lol. Here is my concert schedule of the year so far...

Nightwish - Oct 1st
In This Moment w/ Black Veil Brides - Oct 2nd
System of a Down/Korn/Faith No More - Oct 22nd

October is going to be a busy month for me lol

 

[Ozz]

Currently have tickets for Black Label Society, Deicide/Kataklysm, and planning on a few other metal shows.

Guns N Roses next month in Detroit

I'll be there too.

 

[Ceremony]

We Were Promised Jetpacks at the QMU in December. It's probably somewhat optimistic that the tickets for this have actually been printed and sent out but I suppose we'll see what happens when the time comes.

Since this is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip for the 3 of us, I went with the upgraded Fan Club tickets. I figure if you are going to be in Europe, the difference between $110 and $200 per ticket is worth it. As is the access to seating areas, I'm too old to do a Festival for 12 hours now.

Haha yes, I know what you mean! My uncle is trying to get me to go to the louder than life festival but it’s like 600$ but you get your own tent with food and a bar but I’m stretched as it is and can barely afford rent right now

Nice!

I had tickets from the original date, which I think was 2019 wasn't it? We have seats but I usually get GA tickets and end up near/at the stage gate. I'm going to GNR with my wife though, so seats it is

 

[Hammettf2b]

Saw In This Moment and Black Veil Brides this past weekend. Pretty good. I had never seen these bands live before and didn't know what to expect. First thing I noticed was a lot of teen girls. Once BVB came on stage I knew why. They were all there to see them and went nuts when they showed up lol. They put on a great show.

INM were great but I just wish they played more songs. Maria has a wardrobe change after every freaking song which cuts into the time. Nonetheless, they were great.

 

[Brodeur]

Saw Green Day / Weezer / Fall Out Boy in July. There's a novelty Transformers cosplay band that I want to see in a couple weeks but I might have a beer league hockey conflict. Jimmy Eat World is in town soon as well, but weeknight concerts are a bit rough.

Bought Rage Against the Machine tickets for Madison Square Garden right before the pandemic, the show's been rescheduled twice so now I have to plan a trip for August 2022.

 

[GOilers88]

Rage Against the Machine.

GM Place.

2022.

LFG.
